An IDF medical team on Sunday saved the life of a 13-year-old Palestinian Authority dialysis patient whose life was in danger due to the worsening of his condition.

"We received a call around nine in the morning from the Chief Medical
Officer of the Judea and Samaria Division informing us that there was a
boy hospitalized in the Jenin hospital in need of further intensive
care," said Lt. Abed Rabah, Medical Officer of the Menashe Regional
Brigade in the Judea and Samaria Division, according to the blog of the
Israel Defense Forces.

The Division Medical Officer was contacted when the child's condition
escalated after he had been anesthetized and attached to a breathing
tube, which resulted in pulmonary edema – fluid accumulation in the air
spaces of the lungs. The IDF transferred him to the Rambam Healthcare Campus in Haifa, whose Meyer Children's Hospital specializes in Pediatric Nephrology Dialysis.

"The most critical issue for us in the first stage was to get him to
breathe on his own again, not mechanically," said Cpl. Jonathan
Friedland, a paramedic with the Judea and Samaria Division. "The doctors
at the Jenin hospital were unable to get him out of his mechanical
breathing."

The team – consisting of an ambulance driver, a paramedic and a
medical officer – received the child and his mother at the Gilboa-Jalame
crossing, from where they were transported immediately to the Rambam Health Care Campus, according to the IDF Blog.

"Throughout the ride, we continued supporting him with anesthetics
and kept him connected to a breathing tube," explained Lt. Rabah.

The boy arrived safely at the Haifa healthcare facility and is in stable condition."The Muslim boy was taken care of by a Jewish paramedic [and] a Druze
medical officer and was transported in an ambulance driven by a
Christian soldier," said Lt. Rabah.
